Mission
We train children and teachers all around the world, but mostly in the USA. We teach and train about God and good Character. We do this through camps, VBS programs, teacher training, Nights of Illusions in conjunction with public schools and churches. Our goal is to Win Kids. Win them over to a life of character and a knowledge of God who we believe is the source of all character. In public schools we focus just on Character. Being honest, loyal, dependable, trustworthy, respectable, responsible, stay off drugs and to not be a bully.

Highest-paid independent contractors
No independent contractors reported.
Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
